RAK - Day One

Today was the first day of RAK(Random Acts of Kindness) week. This is a week meant to ignite people to take kind actions every day for seven days.  My children's virtue this month at church is HONOR - Letting others know how valuable they are.  What better way to honor others than through kindness!  So, the Hathaway Household is on a mission this week to bless our community!

Today, we went to Espresso Gallery and purchased a $10 gift certificate.  I told the barista to utilize the certificate for as many customers that came in after us!  I also gave her a handful of little cards to give to the recipients that stated this...

You've just been gifted with a random act of kindness.  It's amazing how much a free beverage from a stranger can bring more sunshine into your day, isn't it?  Enjoy!
Kindness: Pass it on!
We are looking forward to tomorrow...

Love each other deeply.  Honor others more than yourselves.

Ice Cream Commandos!

As I entered our home this evening, I dropped into the recliner...yep, I was exhausted!  My physical therapy wiped me out today.  We decided it was a pizza night and we didn't finish eating until 7:30pm.  Shortly there after, our doorbell rang...ugh, yes, that was my first thought!  Yet at that moment, my entire, exhausted evening was completely perked up by the goodness of a friend!  What friend, you ask?  I have NO IDEA!!!!  The boys opened the door to find a carton of super fun ice cream, Hershey's double chocolate syrup, and the cutest container of sprinkles with a note attached...Happy Tuesday -the Ice Cream Commandos!



Who are the commandos?!?!?!?!  Did anyone see someone mysterious around our home this evening?!?!?!?!  The kids were so excited with the treat but they were MOST excited by the mystery!!!  It ended up being a Happy Tuesday, indeed!  Which ever friend this was, my family loves you!  Your kindness and thoughtfulness impacted my heart tonight!  Although this was not a moment that I created, I am honored to be the recipient!  I challenge the rest of my friends to be Ice Cream Commandos for your friends!  A simple idea with a great impact!  Not only did my children enjoy a very tasty treat but they learned the value in treating our neighbors with love and kindness!
